Hey Mate ✌

↪ Here's your answer friend,

⭐ Soil Erosion is the process by which surface of the earth gets worn out.

It is caused due to :

⏩ Natural elements such as glacial ice and wind.

⏩ Water runoff and rain intensity is the main cause for the erosion on the earth.

⏩ Deforrestation

⏩ Over grazing

⏩ Floods

⏩Harsh climatic conditions

⏩Tillage of farm fields.

⏩ Over usage of land

⏩ Reduced fertility

⭐ Conservation of Soil ⭐

⏩ Contour plowing helps to prevent soil erosion from heavy rains.

⏩Terrace farming techniques aslo can reduce soil erosion.

⏩ Checking wind erosion by grass strips.

⏩ No till farming.

Hope it helps you ^_^

Hello mate, lets get this answer! :-)

I added loads of details so just pick the ones that best suit your assignment or that please your interest!

Erosion involved three processes: detachment (from the ground), transportation (via water or wind), and deposition. The deposition is often in places we don't want the soil such as streams, lakes, reservoirs, or deltas. And, of concern is that the topsoil is often the most fertile and when it erodes away, the subsoil is less productive. Even though erosion is a natural phenominon, human interference into natural systems have created erosion that is much higher than the average geological erosion rate. Erosion is a threat to sustained agricultural production. Soil erosion is a process of moving soil by water or wind - when the soil particles are detached and transported to a different location. This is a natural process that has occurred for eons of time. Water, wind, ice, and gravity are involved in moving soil materials. Humans, however, have often caused accelerated erosion by our manipulation of the soil for agriculture or contruction use. When soils are left bare even for a short period (such as when fields are tilled for planting), the soil can be picked up and moved. These bare soil drops are exposed to the energy of the raindrops and wind. The finer particles of soil are eroded first, taking with them most of the natural fertility and production potential. However, with plant cover, the roots bind the soil particles together and lesson erosion. There are to main types of erosion Water and wind erosion.

Water erosion is the detachment and removal of soil material by water. The process may be natural or accelerated by human activity. ... Rill and gully erosion occurs when concentrated runoff cuts conspicuous channels into the soil.

Wind erosion is a natural process that moves soil from one location to another by wind power. ... Wind erosion can be caused by a light wind that rolls soil particles along the surface through to a strong wind that lifts a large volume of soil particles into the air to create dust storms.
